Back in December 2002, I authored an article titled
Support Your Local
Sheriff which produced an avalanche of mail - all of it supportive,
I'm happy to say. Hundreds of individuals expressed a desire to make their
local Sheriff aware that he/she is the highest law enforcement officer
in their county and do not owe their allegiance to the federal government
or the local heavies (politicians).

The problem many faced is an uncertainty in how
to approach their local Sheriff and how to present their concerns about
the continued assault on our God-given right to own and carry firearms
and issues such as allowing federal agents to come into a county and violate
their rights. It's understandable many Americans are uncomfortable with
approaching a Sheriff in this post 9-11 climate with any constitutional
argument, because too many of them have become nothing more than sledgehammers
for federal alphabet soup agencies operating outside the Supreme Law
of the land, the U.S. Constitution.

A wonderful tool is now available that can assist
in reaching every Sheriff in every county in this country. The Sheriff:
Powers and Responsibilities of Elected Peace Officers is a video available
from the Americans Citizens & Lawmen Association. This film contains discussions
with former Sheriff and current candidate for Governor of Utah, Richard
Mack. I know this honorable man who sacrificed everything to gut the
so-called 'Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.' Few people realize
that court battle cost Richie everything he owned financially and put
him in debt to protect your rights. He and Sheriff Jay Printz stuck with
it and prevailed
in a court of law against all odds and gargantuan legal bills. That's
the kind of man Richard Mack is and I'm proud to call him friend.

Also on this film is a wonderful presentation by
Sheriff Kenneth E. Jones who has been elected as Sheriff of Eureka County,
Nevada, five times. Other articulate discussion is presented by former
Sheriff Jack McLamb, Nevada rancher Wayne Hage, author of Storm Over Rangeland,
former U.S. Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth-Hage and a clip from the classic
documentary, Freedom in America, featuring a truly great American, Ezra
Taft Benson (deceased, 1994). His little booklet, The Proper Role of Government
and book, An Enemy Hath Done This, are two of the first publications I
read when I first broke out of my fog in 1991 and became a freedom fighter.

Not only can you order this well done educational
video, but American Citizens & Lawmen Association will mail the video
to your local Sheriff for you! I ordered the video, provided ACLA with
Sacramento County Sheriff Lou Blanas' name and mailing address and received
a copy of the articulate and outstanding letter ACLA sent to Blanas with
a copy of the video. This letter is from one law enforcement officer to
the elected one in your county. That makes a difference when received
by your local Sheriff. Now, how much easier can it be? There's no reason
on earth anymore to delay in sending in the required, modest donation
which covers the cost of the video, letter to your sheriff and mailing.

I receive no compensation for recommending this
ACLA project. I seek only to let Americans know that these good folks
have made it very easy to reach out and touch your local Sheriff with
the truth and remind them, via presentations from Sheriffs and a former
U.S. Congresswoman, about the history of freedom and about the oath they
take once they're elected. There are 3,141 counties and county equivalents
in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. That's not that many and
since there are tens of millions of us who cherish our freedom, those
3,141 county Sheriffs could be covered in less than 30 days. Don't wait
for someone else to do this - it's your responsibility to do your part
and this ACLA project makes it a breeze.

For more information, contact ACLA at 1.208.935.7852.
You can also send a donation of $25.00 to them directly ($20 for the video
plus $5.00 for the letter to your Sheriff and mailing costs) at: American
Citizens & Lawmen Association, HC 11 Box 357, Kamiah, Idaho, 83536.

I watched the former Sheriff of Waco, Texas, Jack
Harwell, testify at the congressional
white wash hearings. At the conclusion of his testimony, he gave those
34 house members a piece of his mind about the federal government's march
into local jurisdictions. Sheriff Harwell realized too late the power
he had and didn't use. Had Sheriff Harwell exercised his lawful power
and forbidden the FBI and DEA - including the military in violation of
posse comitatus - to come into his county, I would not have had to watch
the conflagration on CNN which took place on April 19, 1993.

I did watch Mount Carmel burn to the ground that
day. As I watched, I also knew I was watching almost 80 men, women and
children being gassed and then burnt to death courtesy of Janet Reno with
the blessing of Bill Clinton. Several years later, I purchased Waco:
A New Revelation.

Never again, not in this country. I hope
you will participate in this worthy effort because some day in the not
too distant future, you might wish your local Sheriff had been able to
watch this video from ACLA. America is truly in crisis. Our fight is for
none but the brave. Your local Sheriff needs to know you will support
him/her, but only if they uphold their oath. This video will help them
to understand the proper role of a county Sheriff.
